And having something so innocuous to complain about is better than being really angry at other things in the world.  Plus, it is a great excuse for us to hunker down inside with fans and A\/C going, good books, a movie here and there and refreshing summer nibbles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jul16\/July4560.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jul16\/July4560.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we DO enjoy the cool mornings very much.  After cleaning bird poop off the chairs for the third morning in the row and actually seeing the darn robin that is responsible, I told Auggie that he really needed to stand guard. He is supposed to leave birds alone and stick to rodents as prey, but I told him robins are the exception &#8230; GO FOR THE ROBIN!

Yep, I have an iPhone and I love it.  It has only been two weeks and I&#8217;m still learning about it, plus it is my backup phone so not used primarily during the day.  <\/p>\n<p>As we come up on the Windows 10 anniversary, I have some thoughts for a different post.  I still love Windows 10.  I still love my Windows 8.1 phone.  I&#8217;m also thrilled with the iPhone and that it works with my Windows 10 and 8.1 devices and software.  <\/p>\n<p>More on this later, but below my first iPhone video.  Not great &#8211; I hope to spend some time this weekend &#8211; I&#8217;m taking this afternoon and Tuesday off so a nice looonnngg weekend &#8211; to play with the camera, video and editing functions.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, our morning walk on Wednesday (6\/29):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LlwBHmuRybo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not July fans at the house Summers.
